Museum that reminds us that the Norman sky was the scene of the biggest air battle in Western Europe from June to August 1944.

In the Koenig district, an imposing hangar houses a museum dedicated to the aeronautics of June 6, 1944. The hangar was built in the 1930s to increase storage capacity for training aircraft destined for France's future flying aces. The museum exhibits a Spitfire and a host of emblematic aircraft. You can also climb into the cockpit of a Focke Wulf 190 or an authentic B-17 bomber belly turret. The museum offers an immersive insight into the aerial aspect of the decisive days of D-Day.

AVOID. Absolutely worst experience I've ever had. Wayyyyyy overpriced. 2 disinterested French chicks as "guides to experiences", lots of junky exhibits that are underrestored and without intimate information; they just talk about aviation in general and not how the air side helped on June 6, 1944. I got a bad vibe when I arrived with the prices but thinking it would be worth it went forward with my two sons (7 and 10). They let you sit in cockpits of some of the aircraft for an unlisted amount of time WHILE the "guide" watches you creepily. The ball turret has no glass and is just a metal shell but they charge you a ton just for the "guide" to literally move the turret with her feet (for the kid). Some arbitrary age is restricted from sitting in the cockpits (under 7) and they wouldn't allow my sobbing kid (who is 2 months away from his 7th birthday) to sit in the exhibits. The "guides" will mumble some general info ("these are the bombers") as you move across the floor. At one point both guides were rolling their eyes at each other, and one just completely ignored us when we were ready to start sitting in cockpits. Then, to cap it all off, they kept my near-7 year old from the virtual reality exhibit because he was "not 7". Do NOT go to this place, save your money and you'll thank me later.

Jolie musée avec de belles pièces pour les passionnés d'aviation! Et de prendre le temps de lire tous car c'est très instructif ! De plus vous ne serez pas obligé de laisser votre animal de compagnie dans la voiture car eux aussi peuvent le visiter !

Verzameling nauwelijks herkerbaar oud roest. Geen samenhang te ontdekken. Film met de VR-bril is wel aardig. Daarnaast een verkleinde replica van een FW-190. Droefenis. En wat te denken van een uitgeholde Mirage V... Wat doet deze is hemelsnaam in een D-day museum...? Dat geldt ook voor een C45 die ver na WOII is verschenen....
Kortom, zonde van je tijd en geld. Er zijn veel betere musea in Normandie.
